Summary of the contracting process

Charnwood Borough Council, based in Loughborough, appointed a provider for Technology Enabled Lives services. The requirement is categorised as repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000), with the work delivered in the Loughborough area. The procurement is for goods and associated technology-enabled living provision under the council’s Technology Enabled Lives requirement. It is intended to support people who rely on technology-enabled services, although the published description does not define the individual equipment, installation, monitoring or support activities. The appointed supplier is responsible for providing the Technology Enabled Lives service throughout the contract term. The opportunity is associated with the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Charnwood Borough Council appointed Appello Smart Living Solutions Ltd on 15 July 2026. The award value is £255,141.25 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030, with an option for three separate one-year extensions. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Northern Housing Consortium Technology Enabled Lives framework. The award is active, and Appello is the sole named supplier. The contract was awarded for the full requirement rather than being divided into published lots.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it shows the type and scale of Technology Enabled Lives requirement that Charnwood Borough Council has bought through a housing-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need to deliver technology-enabled living services involving medical equipment, with the operational capability to maintain equipment reliably and support service users over a long-term council contract. Experience of public-sector or housing-related care technology requirements would be relevant, as would the capacity to provide consistent local delivery in the Loughborough area. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed where they can demonstrate the required technical and service capacity.
